1963 249cc Ariel Arrow Super
Sports

Top of Ariel's two-stroke range, the Arrow
Super Sports was given a glamour finish of glided
upper works and whitewall tyres, for which reason
it was often called the Golden Arrow. Also,
it was one of the few British bikes of the time
to have the distinctin of being modelled un
plastic (by Airfix) as a construction kit. Semi-propelled
handlebars and a small plastic handlebar screen
gave it a rakish air, but there was nothing
"pseudo" about it and the Arrow SS was a very
lively model quite capable of being developed
further. Unhappily, production ceased in 1965.
